Never should have gone that far, with the awful call on the long TD run. That rule is ridiculous, that throwing the flag should negate the review. Tack on the 15 yard penalty if you must, but get the damn call right.

Exactly. A game was decided by a coach briefly losing himself in the heat of the moment. It's simply not fair.

Someone mentioned in NFL Gen, what stops Kubiak throwing the flag to prevent the review? I mean, everyone would know why he did it, but strictly speaking its not against the rules.

According to the rule, the team being penalized cannot benefit from the lack of the review. Or something along those lines. If Kubiak threw it, they would have reviewed it, and then given the Lions 15 yards.
